The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 414 The Wise Vera

Vera was at home, taking it easy and focusing on her pregnancy, when Patrick unexpectedly stormed in and dragged her to the study for a serious talking-to. Vera, puzzled, asked, "Honey, calm down. I don't want you getting all worked up and making yourself sick."

Patrick was speechless.

With that, Vera found out that Molly had framed her. Vera, who held grudges, was indignant. "Honey, I was just joining in for fun. It was Molly who came up with the idea and took action." During that time, Patrick and Sebastian were wary of nothing but Molly, Vera, and Randall. Extra guards were added at the entrance to Dylan's hospital room.

Meanwhile, Randall was also banned from visiting the patient.

Randall complained when he got back. "Why? It was you guys who wanted to pull the oxygen mask; I didn't get involved."

Vera, holding a fruit platter, said, "Molly and I can't avoid it, and neither can you."

Molly came home again. "Sebastian is worried that if I can't do it, I'll make you do it for me."

After all, Randall was the one who most wanted to personally kill Dylan and Joe.

And he was the lowest-ranking among Molly, Vera, and Randall.

Since Joe woke up last time, Sebastian really went to interrogate him.

The result was that he only knew about the Cindy incident back then and was unaware of the kidnapping case sixteen years ago.

Patrick didn't waste more time on Dylan and Joe. After all, if he were Dennis, he wouldn't entrust such important matters to Dylan and Joe either. Glen, on the other hand, was a good breakthrough point.

Sebastian privately went to that coffee shop again to meet Patrick.

Patrick handed him a document. "Sebastian, have you thought about what you'll face if you want to bring him down?"

Sebastian glanced at the document, which was the evidence he needed. "I don't care. I only care if I can go on a road trip with Molly this summer."

Sebastian also asked Patrick, "What about you? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Patrick replied, "Vera is about to give birth."

Sebastian didn't understand Patrick's answer. He seemed to get it but also didn't.

He thought, 'Is Patrick afraid that Vera would encounter danger before giving birth, or is he worried that after Vera gave birth, he would have to take care of the family and wouldn't have time for others?' Regarding the matter from back then, Sebastian objectively said, "It would be best if Molly could remember that incident."

Patrick looked into the yard. "It's also good if she can't remember."

If the memories were beautiful, they should be cherished. However, if they were painful, Patrick didn't want Molly to dwell on them.

Her mind only needed to hold onto the good memories.

Unknowingly, Molly had been interning for a month. She was now familiar with her work and was handling it with ease.

Ellie often called Molly to her office for lunch and chats.

They would also discuss company management.

When Ellie noticed that Molly was tired and knowing that Zoey and Max were around-always hanging out in the park and getting a bit bored-she decided to take Molly, Zoey, and Max for a drive to nearby scenic spots on the weekend. They enjoyed some fresh air and water fun.

Whenever Molly went somewhere, she thought about bringing Vera and the kids there for playing in the future.

Ellie said, "With kids, you can't go anywhere. Walk a few steps, and you have to carry the child, feed them, take them to the bathroom. Vera will be so tired her arms will be sore."

Molly said, "Mom, you're overthinking it. Vera has Patrick."

Ellie smiled. "Even Patrick can't hold the baby for too long. Besides, when the baby cries, they always want their mom."

Molly shrugged. "With so many of us, can't we handle a kid?"

A few hours after Molly's paycheck came in, it was already gone.

As she stood in the mall, her bank balance was already down to two digits before she even started shopping. She felt a bit stunned. After a whole month of hard work, she barely managed to buy a few things and was out of money. Sebastian had taken a break to join Molly on her shopping trip.

He laughed and asked, "You're out of money?"

Molly smiled bitterly. "Sebastian, I haven't even started supporting you, and the money is gone."

Sebastian chuckled, "I got a raise. Use my money."

"But I said I'd take care of you. I'm finding I can't even take care of myself."

Sebastian held her hand and said, "It's okay, I can take care of you."

She had bought gifts for Shawn, Timothy, Zoey, Vera, and her unborn nephew, but when it came to Sebastian, she was out of money.

She had less than a hundred dollars left.

Sebastian saw she was a bit down and knew what was bothering her.

"Is there enough money for a movie?" Sebastian asked.

Molly nodded. "Yes."

Sebastian took her to the top-floor theater to buy tickets.

Later, Molly complained to Vera and Randall, "Money is hard to earn. I'm getting a better understanding of why Ellie and Timothy are one going into politics and one going into business, and I understand why Shawn has Vincent in politics and Patrick in business."

Vera asked, "What's wrong?"

Molly sighed, "Honestly, I'm just relieved I'll inherit the company. If I were an ordinary worker, I'd probably be starving by now."

Vera lay on a chair, leisurely saying, "Money or not, there's always a way to live. A three-thousand-dollar meal is still just a meal, and so is a thirty-dollar meal. You can't let a lack of cash get you down-being happy and healthy is what really matters."

Molly asked, "Vera, let me ask you, if Patrick were a poor, would you still stay with him?"

Vera thought for a moment. "If we'd just gotten married and didn't have a foundation, I'd probably ignore him. But now, even if Patrick were deeply in debt, I'd still stand by him and make the best of it." Molly joked, "I really want to tell Patrick these words."

"You don't need to say it; he believes me." Vera said confidently.

Vera, who was a married woman, spent an entire afternoon instilling her views on marriage to Molly and Randall.

Cindy overheard a few words as she passed by. When she got back, she smiled and said to Shawn, "Kids these days are so mature. I just heard Vera talking, and at first, it didn't seem right, but on second thought, it made some sense." Shawn was curious. "What did Vera say?"

Cindy said, "Our generation always says it's better to be with someone who loves you. Vera, on the other hand, believes you should either marry for mutual affection or not marry at all. If you can't find that person, then marry someone who's suitable. I'm still pondering whether that's too rigid a stance."
